What a difference tires make on OBX wheels

[MattAttack85]

I know, another Outer Banks wheels thread, but this one is mine haha.

Toyo Open Country AT3s in 275-70/18. What a difference tires make on these wheels. This Bronco was my first Ford where I was considering aftermarket wheels, but this changed my mind. This is how it should have come from the factory!

Looks great. I’ve always liked the wheels on the OBX it was just the tires that needed change

Wow! Huge difference. Ford should honestly offer an upgraded tire option on the OBX, this looks so much better

OP, looks great. Did you lift?

Not yet, but I'm still trying to figure that out. These are only 0.6" taller than stock tires according to the calculators. I wouldn't mind a lift, but don't want to level it.

Do you notice any ride quality issues with these tires vs stock? Love these tires but I do a lot of highway driving so worried about the E load rating being too harsh.

There was a small increase in road noise, but I only hear it if I'm listening for it. I know what you mean about a lot of highway driving. My commute is 61 miles one way....... Three quarters of that is interstate driving. So ride quality was a concern of mine. I have definitely not regretted my decision!!

What mpg are you averaging on your commute? Also do you have the 2.3 or 2.7? Advanced 4x4 gearing?

Well I'll definitely say don't trust the mpg shown on your dash. It's never right. For me, is always 1-1.5mpg higher than actual calculated mpg is.

I use an app to keep track of my mileage and it calculate it accurately. I'm pretty happy with these numbers either way.

My Bronco is a 2.7 V6 without the advanced 4x4.
